Jusserand laid his hand on the senator's shoulder and in his excellent English said: "My dear sir, my very dear sir, do, please stop speaking French.

"Doinf Our Bit This much used phrase, so lately coined, and so quickly taken upby our American tongues, is the theme of the second meeting of our Junior Chautau qua Winter Club. We find the boys and girls especially interest ed these days in what they can do to help Uncle Sam. They are glad to save up their pennies, to distribute government literature, to do anything they can. There is a big opportunity for us at this moment to make for a Greater America". We have the field and the materials, if we ! wni but give the personal effort, The mind of Junior America can be mobilized as well as can that of Senior America. It is an easy thing to establish an attitude if we but plant the seed of thought and water it well. Start the Jun iors to thinking "Clean up" thoughts and you will begin to see improvements along that line. Start them along dime novel or nickel vcvies' lines and very soon, if you look, you will see the iruits tne gang will raid an Italian fruit stand or hang an 'alley rabbit' at sunset Is this not true? I am not writing for effect. It is true. By the self same rule, then, start the Juniors to thinking patriotism, helpful ness, 'doing your bit', and just as sure as sure can be he will translate those thoughts into action, sooner or later. In their program for November 13th, they will have several numbers, varied in character, all bearing on the subject "The Truest Patriotism: 'Do Your Bit". Not a vague, far off something that will go over their heads and 1 miss its mark completely, but the little things such as faithful work in school, respect for the flag, cleanliness, fair play in games, and so on, -things that come home to every Junior now, these will be brought to their avid little minds and through these will we leave with them one strong im pression of their duty as citizens of our United States. Any Benior who would be interested in hear ing this program is cordially in vited to come on November 13, 1917 to the Central School and be a Junior for a while. He will not count the hour wasted. ,Flni for Cold Feet A norel French heater (or room too lata of a carpet In which are woren wtree to take current (rem a light aock- et and dlitrlbote the electric evenly. Under the wise and capable direction of County Supt A. E. Akers there has been an educa tional awakening all over Halifax County. One community in En field township has recently con solidated three districts into one. They have erected a modern building and provided wagons for transporting the pupils. This school wns opened last Monday with appropriate cer-i emon:e:.Ar.umber of the mem - bers of Evening Star Council No. 55 Jr. O. U. A. M. motored, down front Roanoke Rapids to be ' present and participate in the ' cermonies. This council presented 1 them with a bible and tlag. j Mr. Ceonre Bennett acted as master of ceremot fcs. The bible was presented by Rev.N.C. Dun-jon can, of Weldon, in well chosen ; words of spiritual wisdom. Supt j A. M. Proctor, of Roanoke Rap- ids. presented the flag. These gifts were accepted on behalf of the school by County Supt A. E. Akers. Rev. R. L. Towe. of Aurelian Springs spoke on the things for which the Junior Ord?r stands. This, hihle and nN? "ii as mother used to make and no' signs of war times anywhere in evidence. After dinner the speaking was resumed. The Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Enfield, spoke on the Oppor tunity of a Rural School. As a fitting climax Mr. R. C. Dunn spoke in his pleasing and elo quent way about Our Nation at War. He was frequently inter rupted by prolonged applause and for nearly two hours held his audience spell bound as he read a bill of indictment against Kaiser William and his court be fore the bar of humanity and civilization. In reverent Bilence and with uncovered heads the people stood i while old glory was raised above the Hardrawer Sc o 1 to fl at there as a perpetual reminder of those principles for which our forefathers fought bled and died, Liberty, Virtue and Patriot ism.
